General Motors Recalls Another 3.4 Million Cars

Yet another round of recalls for beleaguered GM.

Not even a month after GM's second major recall of the year, the car giant is now recalling another 3.4 million cars because of an ignition defect. General Motors says that the problem could cause the ignition switch to move out of position it is carrying too much weight and if the vehicle experiences a jarring event, such as hitting a pothole. This can disable the engines, power steering, and even the airbags. The announcement is similar to the recall of 1.3 million cars in early 2014, which happened because of an ignition defect that could cause the car to accidentally shut off while driving, especially if there was extra weight on the keyring.

GM says that this latest recall is tied to eight crashes and six injuries due to the defect. Seven cars with model years ranging from 2000 to 2014, including the Buick Lacrosse, Chevrolet Impala, and the Cadillac Deville, will be affected.
